Cosmetic teeth whitening at the dentist - key steps

If you dream of a whiter smile, you will certainly be interested in cosmetic teeth whitening at your dentist. Being able to regain the brightness of your teeth is a unique opportunity that can affect not only your aesthetics, but also your self-confidence. However, before you opt for this procedure, it is worth knowing the key steps involved.

Steps of cosmetic teeth whitening at the dentist

Wondering what the in-office teeth whitening process looks like? Here is a detailed overview of the individual steps:

  • Consultation - Initially, a consultation visit is necessary, during which the doctor assesses the condition of your teeth and gums. We check whether you are a suitable candidate for the treatment and select the most appropriate whitening method.
  • Professional cleaning - Before the whitening itself, we perform scaling and sandblasting of the teeth to remove accumulated tartar and deposits. This is important so that the whitening preparations can work effectively.
  • Gum protection and preparation - In order to protect the gums from the whitening agent, we use special protective goggles and a cofferdam. We then proceed with the application of the whitening preparation.
  • Whitening process - Depending on the method chosen, the process may involve exposure to an LED lamp or laser to activate the whitening gel. The treatment usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
  • Final assessment and recommendations - Once the treatment is complete, we check the final result and give advice on maintaining a white smile, such as avoiding certain foods and drinks and using specialised whitening pastes.

Cosmetic teeth whitening at the dentist is a process that can significantly improve the appearance of your smile. This treatment is precise and the results can last for a long time, provided you have good oral hygiene.

Tips after tooth whitening treatment

Once the cosmetic teeth whitening treatment at the dentist has been completed, it is important to follow a few recommendations in order to enjoy the beautiful result for as long as possible. For the first 48 hours after whitening, it is advisable to avoid eating and drinking products that can cause discolouration, such as coffee, tea, red wine, fruit juices and foods with intense colours.

I also recommend choosing whitening toothpastes that will not only maintain the whitening effect, but also provide adequate protection for the enamel. Regular check-ups at the dentist and preventive hygiene procedures will also help to keep your teeth in excellent condition.
